Customers say: True professional

"Absolutely the best guys and hardest workers. They worked the job to completion in 1 day that would have taken most 2 days if not longer. Very difficult 50 foot tree with branches intruding into 2 separate yards and over one neighbors large shop. They removed tree with precision not causing any damage. Cleaned up after themselves and hauled away everything. They were straightforward about price and I’m already planning another job with them. I’ve avoided this tree removal for years and I wish I found Martinez Tree Service years ago instead of the others that quoted high and provided less service. I look forward to working with them in the future. I highly recommend Martinez Tree Service"

"I had a pine tree that had large branches were growing over my shed and reaching over the edge of the roof of my house. There were times in the past, when the ice covering the branches, that the branches rested upon the power lines. There were two vertical trunks that were twisted upon each other. All of these branches and trunks were removed without harm to my facility and did not hit the power lines. The tree was completely removed and hauled away. Before they left, the clean up the area. Very professional"

"Matt and his company did through and quality work. We couldn't have been happier with the end result. He went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the work that was done. We had several bids and he was 1/3 of the cost the others were. But more importantly he stood behind the work he did and was a man of his word which is so hard to find. If you're struggling to find someone who is reliable and does quality work look no further. You won't be dissappointed"

"I can highly recommend J Plus Construction after the excellent work they did in transforming my wildly overgrown grass into a beautifully trimmed lawn surrounding my house. Two men worked tirelessly for approximately two hours and did everything I needed to be done with care and attention to my requests. I highly recommend this company."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

In most cases, your neighbor is responsible for roots from their tree that cause damage to your property. If your pavement, the foundation of your home, or a fence is damaged by roots from a neighbor’s tree, you likely will have legal recourse for financial relief. While it’s better to notify your neighbor of any problems you notice as soon as they arise to avoid costly damage, there are some instances where filing a civil suit is your only recourse. Your homeowner’s insurance company might wish to do so on your behalf if you file a claim.

Pruning a tree is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.

The Christmas tree type that smells the best to you will ultimately depend on personal preference. But if that classic Christmas tree smell is important to you, choosing a type of tree known for its scent is a safe bet. Try a balsam fir for a spicy, comforting scent or a Douglas fir for a sweeter smell. You may also like Fraser firs, Scotch pines, and blue spruces.
